*************************************
We cannot say that any one person in particular is responsible for the state of neglect into which our spiritual well-being has fallen. It is difficult to debate with any certainty that the level of spiritual consciousness of our society is worse now than it was one, or two hundred, or even two thousand years ago. Certainly, we cannot reasonably hold our parents, our teachers, or our obstetricians responsible for the fact that we cannot organize our lives in a manner that will ensure our ongoing personal and spiritual evolution. At the same time, accepting all the responsibility on our own shoulders seems equally unreasonable and unnecessarily guilt-provoking.
It is as though we have all fallen into a long and deep sleep of collective forgetfulness. From this sleepy fog, it is extremmely difficult to regain consciousness. The neglectful habits we have developed belong to all of us and so they do not seem to be habits at all, but rather the normal way of life of our day and age.
